Instead, it’ll take place next month at a currently unannounced Bellator 70 show.

The title fight came about after two meetings between season-five
tournament finalists Prindle and Thiago Santos were scrapped in recent
weeks.

Prindle and Santos first fought at Bellator 59, where the tourney
championship went unresolved after Santos accidentally kicked his
opponent in the groin. With Prindle unable to continue, the fight was
rebooked for Bellator 61 this past month. However, Prindle suffered
from flu-like symptoms, and the fight was postponed a week. Then at
Bellator 62 weigh-ins, Santos failed to make weight, and Prindle was
declared the tournament champion.

Konrad hasn’t fought since August, when he earned a unanimous-decision
victory over Paul Buentello in a non-title fight. Prior to that, the
two-time NCAA Division I national champion and current Team DeathClutch
fighter won Bellator’s season-three tournament with victories over
Rogent Lloret, Damian Grabowski and Neil Grove. That earned him
Bellator’s inaugural heavyweight title.

Before the Santos fiasco, Prindle advanced to the season-five tourney
finale with victories over Abe Wagner and Ron Sparks. It was part of a
seven-fight win streak that followed his pro-debut loss to Jimmy Ambriz
in 2008.
